For a complete list of nominees, go to this location (http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/theampersand/archive/2009/02/03/2009-juno-award-nominations-announced.aspx). The Juno Awards are presented annually to Canadian musical artists and bands to acknowledge their artistic and technical achievements in all aspects of music. New members of the Canadian Music Hall of Fame are also inducted as part of the awards ceremonies. Winners are currently chosen by members of the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences or, depending on the award, a panel of experts. In almost all of the main general categories, such as "Album of the Year" or "Artist of the Year", nominees are determined by sales during the qualifying period; in genre-specific categories, they are determined by panel. http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=113654 Congratulations to the band for getting nominated. /jarmo Title: Re: Chinese Democracy nominated for a Juno Award Post by: faldor on February 03, 2009, 07:20:26 PM Some stiff competition there. I'm not too crazy about the new ACDC, but I respect the band and how well the album has sold. I love the other 2 albums though. I can't believe an Awards show can have such good taste. There's no Britney Spears nomination or someone of that ilk?

Title: Re: Chinese Democracy nominated for a Juno Award Post by: Classic Case on February 03, 2009, 11:56:11 PM ''nominees are determined by sales during the qualifying period" IF THE WINNER IS DETERMINED BY SALES TOO, GNR WONT WIN, OBVIUSLY. SAD BUT TRUE.

Wouldn't hurt to e-mail the Juno Awards committee to proclaim our support for Chinese Democracy for the International Album of the Year Award! : ok: I did it, and received a "Thank you for the suggestion!" response. Please, everyone else do too! Title: Re: Chinese Democracy nominated for a Juno Award Post by: ppbebe on February 04, 2009, 09:57:11 AM Good job italysfinest1985 : ok:
''nominees are determined by sales during the qualifying period" IF THE WINNER IS DETERMINED BY SALES TOO, then why should there be several nominees for each award. Title: Re: Chinese Democracy nominated for a Juno Award Post by: Hammer1 on February 04, 2009, 10:22:09 AM Canada loves GNR....old and new! :beer:
Title: Re: Chinese Democracy nominated for a Juno Award Post by: faldor on February 04, 2009, 11:49:20 AM They picked the nominees based on sales, they didn't say the winner would be based on sales. That'd be a pretty lame way to decide. ACDC would win hands down, why have other nominees? So obviously that won't be the basis to choose the winner.
Title: Re: Chinese Democracy nominated for a Juno Award Post by: italysfinest1985 on February 04, 2009, 12:37:35 PM I received messages from people on MySpace who are e-mailing them and are getting various "Thank you, we'll take that into consideration" responses. Keep it up guys.
It can't hurt... ;D info@junoawards.ca Title: Re: Chinese Democracy nominated for a Juno Award Post by: Buddha_Master on February 04, 2009, 12:41:47 PM I sure hope Chinese Democracy wins that Flappy Head Trophy.
Title: Re: Chinese Democracy nominated for a Juno Award Post by: Silverchair on February 04, 2009, 12:53:39 PM ''nominees are determined by sales during the qualifying period" IF THE WINNER IS DETERMINED BY SALES TOO, GNR WONT WIN, OBVIUSLY. SAD BUT TRUE. I wish awards weren't tainted by with skepticism, that is the sad truth. The Grammys didn't award the Beach Boys any awards, and yet it is considered the best album of all time. This year's favoured album to win is "Carter III" by Lil' Wayne... the highest selling album of the year. Sold 1 million in one week... The Juno's award Celine Dion constantly too... if you get what I'm saying. Title: Re: Chinese Democracy nominated for a Juno Award Post by: GNRreunioneventually on February 04, 2009, 11:23:05 PM this is cool and all but has there been anything said about a grammy or some nomination show thing thats televised?
Title: Re: Chinese Democracy nominated for a Juno Award Post by: AdZ on February 04, 2009, 11:32:37 PM Awesome, great to see a great piece of art being recognised as such.
Title: Re: Chinese Democracy nominated for a Juno Award Post by: BurningHills on February 05, 2009, 03:10:54 AM Awesome, great to see a great piece of art being recognised as such. This. : ok: Title: Re: Chinese Democracy nominated for a Juno Award Post by: Skunk on February 05, 2009, 09:16:55 PM this is cool and all but has there been anything said about a grammy or some nomination show thing thats televised? I'm pretty sure CD isn't eligible for a grammy until next year. Title: Re: Chinese Democracy nominated for a Juno Award Post by: Eazy E on February 05, 2009, 09:41:12 PM some nomination show thing thats televised? Canada does televise it's biggest music awards show, for your information. Title: Re: Chinese Democracy nominated for a Juno Award Post by: jarmo on February 06, 2009, 12:38:03 PM Being nominated is awesome.
All the shit that's been said about the album doesn't matter. It got nominated and acknowledged. /jarmo Title: Re: Chinese Democracy nominated for a Juno Award Post by: FunkyMonkey on March 30, 2009, 11:19:34 AM :(

I don't get it when people show such a strong hatred toward a band. quite scary.
